Consumer Description

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR CAR STARTING. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED. WE HAVE DISCONNECTED THEN RECONNECTED THE BATTERY, SOMETIMES THIS WORKS TO START THE CAR OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. THE POWER LOCKS NO LONGER WORK. ONE DAY THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON, SOMETIMES ITS NOT YESTERDAY, WE COULDN'T EVEN GET THE CAR TO START. TODAY, THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND THE CLUSTER GAUGES WERE NOT EVEN WORKING. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW OUT OF THE SHOWROOM. WHAT A LEMON IT TURNED OUT TO BE. SADLY, IT NOW SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY AS IT IS NOT DEPENDABLE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. THERE IS A RECALL TO REPLACE THE KEY RINGS, AND AN INSET IN THE KEY SLOT OR A COVER ON THE KEY HEAD INSTEAD GM SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE MODELS TO REPLACE THE IGNITIONS, SINCE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE POSTING ONLINE ABOUT THESE SAME ISSUES. *TR
